RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

RADIO COMMUNICATIONS

VHF radio communications in the Lower Victoria Valley are excellent. However, VHF radio communications in Beacon Valley are extremely limited even with the high-gain aerial. HF communication with the Qmac was good but these radios lack portability. A satellite phone for emergency calls away from camp in Beacon Valley is probably necessary.
